All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

After two years, we returned to Hawaii, and since it was my wife's birthday, we booked a dinner cruise. I requested a surprise cake, and with the help of the onboard staff, we were able to have a wonderful birthday party with the kids. Thank you very much.

2年ぶりのハワイ、ちょうど妻の誕生日だったので久しぶりにディナークルーズを申し込みました。サプライズでケーキをお願いし、乗船スタッフのご協力もあり、子供達と素晴らしい誕生日パーティが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

Dissatisfaction points → You have to carry the thrill ride float up the stairs yourself. The restrooms and changing rooms are in the same location. Even though there are many food order windows, only about two are open, creating long lines. The all-you-can-eat plan has a very short operating time, only from 12:00 to 13:00. I thought the attractions themselves were somewhat interesting (the kids said they enjoyed it too), but I felt that there’s no need to take a bus for over an hour from Waikiki for the aforementioned reasons next time.

不満点→絶叫系のフロートを自ら抱えて階段を上がらなければならない。トイレと更衣室が同じところにある。食べ物注文窓口がいっぱいあるのに2か所くらいしか空いておらず長蛇の列が出来る。食べ放題プランでも窓口が12時から13時までのみの営業と営業時間が短すぎる。アトラクション自体はまあまま面白かったと思う（子供も面白かったといっている）が、前述のような点をわざわざワイキキから1時間以上もバスに揺られていく必要性は次からはないな、と思いました。

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.

The sandbar was only waist-deep, which was disappointing.
But I was able to see both turtles and manta rays!
The bus guide was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable tour.
I would like to participate again when I come back.
I hope to see the sandbar properly next time, though. (^^;)

サンドバーは腰までの位置だったので残念。
でもカメもマンタも見れました！
バスのガイドさんも陽気な人で、とても楽しいツアーでした。
また来たときは参加したいです。
出来ればちゃんとサンドバーが見たいですが(^^;)

I participated in a tour that started at 11:00. I received a call about the pickup 30 minutes before, which left a good impression. They arrived on time, and we were able to depart. After setting sail on the boat, we searched for dolphins, but there weren't large groups, and those who saw them had very little time, which was disappointing. Since I didn't see any dolphins, I received a coupon for 50% off for my next visit on the way back. My family also enjoyed it, so I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time.

11時開始のツアーに参加しました。
お迎え30分前にホテルにお迎え予定の電話があり好印象。
時刻通り迎えがあり、出発出来ました。
船で出船後、イルカを捜しましたが大きな群れは無く、見れた人、時間も少しで残念でした。
イルカが見れなかったので帰りに次回50%offで使用できるクーポンをもらいました。
家族にも好評でしたので、次回ハワイへ来たらまた参加したいと思いました。

I participated to enjoy the last day in Hawaii with attractions like the water slide. The coin lockers are expensive, costing $13 for medium and $18 for large. On the Ohana Highway, my 11-year-old almost got thrown off the float and was quite scared. The Kapolei Cooler was supposed to be a lazy river, but there was no current, so we had to paddle ourselves, and there were a lot of floating objects, so we stopped after one round. The Hawaiian Waters Wave Pool was somewhat decent. Waikiki Beach might have been better.

ウォータースライダーなどハワイ最終日を楽しむため参加しました。
コインロッカーはMが13$,Lが18$で高い。
オハナ・ハイウェーで11歳のうちの子は浮き輪から放り出されそうになり、ビビってました。
カポレイ・クーラーは流れるプールのはずであるが、流れが無く自分で漕がないといけない状態であり、浮遊物も多く1周でやめました。
ハワイアン・ウォーターズ・ウェーブ・プールがまあまあ良かったかな。
ワイキキビーチの方が良かったかも知れません。

There are many wild dolphins closely, that's really amazing. However, if there is less people on the cruis that would be better. Overall, it is nice activity.

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I booked a show. At first, I signed up for a show with transportation included, but since the meeting point was farther from the hotel, I opted for this one that I could get to on my own. For those with a short stay, I think it's good because you can see it in Waikiki, which minimizes time loss. It was standard, but it included a welcome drink plus one drink, and the food was decent. Perhaps because it was small, all the seats were relatively close to the stage. There was also a face painting service for kids, which they enjoyed. I think it's a good experience to try at least once.

せっかくハワイに来たので、とショーを申し込みしました。
最初は送迎つきのショーを申し込みましたが、集合場所がホテルより遠いため自力で行けるこちらにしました。
滞在時間が短い方にはワイキキで見れるため時間のロスが少なくてよいと思います。
スタンダードでしたが、ウェルカムドリンク＋１ドリンクつきで食事もまぁまぁかな～って感じです。こじんまりしているせいか、どの席もわりと近くで見れました。
子供にペイントサービスみたいなのもあって喜んでいました。
一度体験してみるにはよいと思います。

Early pickup in Waikiki and flight to Hilo on The Big Island. Well organised with your group being led easily through the whole day. Exciting helicopter flight over the lava and craters and plenty of info given throughout. Coach tour for rest of day to see the National Volcano Museum, plenty of stops at different sites including the walk through the old lava tube, walking on old lava, seeing craters and steam vents. Also stopped at macadamia nut factory and fuschia gardens. It's a long day but well worth it. We were picked up at 4.30am and didn't get back to Waikiki until 8.30pm.

This was my second time, and it was impressive to see it right in front of me. My child was also captivated. Thank you.

今回で２回目でしたが目の前で見れてしかも迫力があり子供も釘付で見てました。
ありがとうございます。

My family and I have been to Hawaii several times, but have never been on a helicopter tour. I am so happy we chose to do this for the first time with Paradise Helicopters because it was a great time from start to finish. Initially, I was scared of flying in such a small aircraft, but our pilot Jay was so great and informative that my fears quickly disappeared and I was able to enjoy myself and see the island in a way that would be impossible from land. Additionally, there were complementary ginger chews and motion sickness bags in the helicopter which also helped make me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Hawaii in a fun and unique way!

Yesterday, my family and I had a blast on the Circle Island helicopter tour! All staff were extremely friendly and knowledgable, making us feel safe and at-ease despite it being all of our first times in a helicopter. Jay, our captain, took us around the whole island and had a wealth of information about each area we flew over. He also readily answered any questions we had throughout the tour. The whole experience was thorough, executed seamlessly, and will surely be a highlight of our vacation.
It was an excellent way to experience Oahu, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

Boat didn't have enough seats for everyone so in the beginning and end we were left standing.

We had the best time! Everything was perfect, of course the places we visited were outstanding, real nature´s beauty. And the staff of the boat was very kind and efficient. Great people!

My first time at Wet 'n Wild.
I had reserved a cabana in advance, and I was worried about whether I could actually get it, but I was definitely able to borrow it.
Having a cabana was great because drinks and fruit were served, and it provided a relaxing base!
I also enjoyed the attractions.

初めてのウェット＆ワイルド。
カバナを事前予約 していたのですが、借りられるか不安でしたが、、確実に借りる事が出来ました。
カバナがあると飲み物や果物がサービスされ、落ち着ける拠点が出来て良かったです！
アトラクションも楽しめました。

I'm a returning visitor after three years, and it's enjoyable because there aren't as many strict rules like in Japan. My family and I can have fun doing various activities, like filming videos while riding the slides.

3年振りのリピーターですが、日本のように細かい決まり事が無くて楽です。家族でスライダーに乗りながら動画撮影など色々楽しめます。

The pool is filled with thrilling water slides, not suitable for small children or the elderly. However, kids in elementary school and above will absolutely love it. My children, who are in elementary and middle school, were thrilled and said they want to come back again! If you take the shuttle bus, you can line up right at the entrance, but if you go on your own, it costs $8 for parking, and then you have to wait in line to exchange tickets before entering. The park closes at 3:30 PM, but around 2:30 PM, when the bus passengers start getting ready to leave, it becomes much less crowded, and we could enjoy the slides to our heart's content.

The BBQ lunch was a buffet with hot dogs and salads, but it wasn't an actual BBQ. The variety wasn't extensive, and it wasn't particularly delicious, so I feel like we could skip it next time. However, if you don't get the BBQ lunch, you'll have to stand in a long line at the food counter, which is a bit of a dilemma.

絶叫系スライダーばかりのプール。小さな子供とお年寄り向きではありません。でも小学生以上なら大喜びです。小学生と中学生のうちの子たちは大喜びで、もう一回来たい！と言っていました。送迎バス付きだとすぐに入場門に並べるのに対し、自分たちで行くと、駐車場8ドルかかり、更にチケット交換に並んでから入場門。でも、3時半にクローズですが、バスの人達が一斉に帰り支度を始める2時半ごろから一気にすいて、スライダーやりたい放題でした。
BBQランチは、ホットドッグやサラダが並んでいるビュッフェ形式で、BBQするわけではありませんでした。種類が多いわけでもなく、すごくおいしいわけでもなく、次回はつけなくてもいいな…という感じです。ただ、BBQランチをつけないとフードカウンターで長蛇の列にならばなければならず、悩ましい所です。

I think it was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen!!!! I was so moved ♡ The staff were very kind and fun, and I really enjoyed myself!!! They took a lot of photos for us, and especially Yukiko, the Japanese staff member, was truly wonderful. I am very grateful! Thank you so much ♡

今まで見てきた海の中でダントツで1番綺麗だったと思います！！！！感動しました♡
スタッフの方々がとっても親切で楽しくて
楽しめました！！！
写真もたくさん撮っていただいたり、
特に日本人スタッフのゆきこさんが本当に素敵な人で
とても感謝したいです！
ありがとうございました♡

I was looking forward to the sandbar.

The staff were fun people, and the sandbar was very beautiful.

However, it was disappointing that it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined.

I had envisioned it during low tide...

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

I should have asked the staff what time the tide goes out or done more research.

Since I went on the morning course, I wonder if the tide would have been out if I had chosen the afternoon course.

Next time, I want to go when the tide is out.

But it was very beautiful, and I was truly moved!

楽しみにしていたサンドバー。

スタッフも楽しい方々でしたし、
サンドバーもとても綺麗でした。

ただイメージしていたサンドバーではなかったのが残念でした。

潮が引いているイメージでしたので・・・

自然の事なので、仕方がありませんが。

私も大体何時頃に潮が引くのかスタッフに聞くなり、
もっと調べておけば良かったです。

午前のコースだったので、
午後コースだったら、潮が引いていたのでしょうか。

次回は、潮が引いた時に行きたいと思います。

でもとても綺麗で感動しましたよ！

There were still few visitors, so there was no waiting time, and I was able to enjoy various attractions and slides, which made me very satisfied. There are many attractions available that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

まだ、入場者が少なく待ち時間もなく色々なアトラクションスライダーを利用でき満足できました。アトラクションも数多く用意されており老若男女楽しめます。

If you want to do something typical of Hawaii, I recommend this. There were many families with children, and the staff was considerate, making for a satisfying tour. The lunch consisted of hamburgers made with grilled meat on the boat. While it wasn't incredibly delicious, just eating on the boat was enjoyable. During the final snorkeling, I was lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful memory.

ハワイらしいことをしたいなら、オススメです。お子様連れも多く、スタッフの方も気遣ってくれて満足のいくツアーでした。ランチも船上で焼いたお肉でハンバーグで、すごい美味しいって訳では無いけれど、船上で食べてるってだけで楽しいです。最後のシュノーケリングではウミガメとも運よく一緒に泳ぐことができて素敵な思い出になりました。

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.

料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。
海側からワイキキを見るのはとても贅沢でゆっくりとすごせました。
前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
そんな景色もいいですね。

On August 17, I attended the Rock-a-Hula VIP dinner. First of all, by booking the VIP experience, you can enter earlier than general guests. While waiting for the opening time, hula dancers and singers come out to perform on a mini stage. Then, with excitement, we entered and were greeted by none other than Michael Jackson! We took a commemorative photo together! (This photo can be purchased with a frame.) As we moved further in, the staff welcomed us with a welcome drink and hors d'oeuvres. After relaxing for a while, we were shown to our seats. I thought the seating was a bit cramped, but once the meal started, it wasn't a big deal.

The food was five stars! Lobster arrived along with fruits and salad. I imagined it would be the kind of dry lobster served at weddings, but it was completely different. The meat was firm (but not tough) and came out easily from the shell, and it was delicious. The presentation was beautiful as well. Additionally, the main course of beef and Alaska salmon was served on warmed plates to keep the food from getting cold. What a thoughtful touch! The mashed potatoes on the side were also excellent. Overall, the portion sizes were just right, and it was a well-balanced meal.

By the time we finished the course, an announcement for the show began. The artists performing that day were Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Katy Perry. What a hit!! With captivating voices and dynamic dances, sometimes elegant and smooth. It was truly a stage where rock and hula merged. Even those who are not familiar with Western music can enjoy it fully!! I won't go into details, as the artists change depending on the day, and more than anything, I want everyone who will be going to experience the great excitement. Highly recommended!!

8月17日、ロック・ア・フラVIPディナー、いって参りました。
まず、VIPで申し込むと一般のお客さんより早く入場できます。
OPEN時間までの待ち時間、フラダンサーとシンガーがやってきてミニステージを見せてくれます。
そしてウキウキしながら入場。なんとマイケル・ジャクソンが出迎えてくれました！一緒に記念写真をパチリ！（この写真は台紙付きで購入できます。）さらに奥へと進むと、ウェルカムドリンクとオードブルでスタッフさんが歓迎してくれます。しばらくのんびりした後、席に案内されます。席は若干窮屈かな、と思いましたが、食事が始まるとそれほど気になりませんでした。

料理は５つ星です！フルーツやサラダと一緒にロブスターがやってきました。ああ、きっと結婚式で出てくるようなモソモソしたものなのだろうと想像していましたが、全くの別物でした。身がブリンと引き締まっていて（固くはないです）殻から取れやすく、おいしかったです。盛り付けも綺麗でした。また、メインのビーフ＆アラスカサーモンは、料理が冷めないよう温まったお皿にのって出てきました。うれしい心遣いです。付け合わせのマッシュポテトも最高でした。全体的に量が程よく、バランスのよいお食事でした。

コースを食べ終える頃、ショー開始のアナウンスが流れました。この日の出演アーティストは、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ケイティ・ペリーです。大当たり！！魅惑のボイスに躍動感あふれるダンス。時には優雅にしっとりと。正にロックとフラが融合したステージでした。洋楽に詳しくない方でも充分に楽しめます！！詳細内容にはふれないでおきましょう。日によってアーティストも変わりますし、何よりもこれから見に行く皆さんに大きな感動を味わっていただきたいので。イチオシです！！

I watched the Rock of Ages show from the VIP seats! Upon entering, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, and then we enjoyed dinner. The lobster, salmon, and meat were all very filling, and we also got one free drink. The meat and bread were especially delicious.

As for the main show, overall I was satisfied, but it would have been even better if Michael and Elvis's songs had been more popular hits! That said, there were hula performances and fire dances, making for a rich experience!

ロックアフラショーをVIP席で見てきました！
入場してすぐウェルカムドリンクでもてなしがあり、中に入ってまずディナーをいただきます。
ロブスター、サーモン、お肉とボリューム満点で、ドリンクも一杯無料でついてます。お肉とパンが特においしかったです。
その後のメインのショーですが、全体的には満足なのですが、マイケルやエルビスの曲がもっとメジャーな曲だったら尚良しってかんじでした！
とは言え、フラあり、ファイヤーダンスありで充実の内容でした♪

I participated because I wanted to see the sandbar and sea turtles! I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles up close, it was moving! The sandbar happened to be at high tide, so the water was up to my chest and it felt like just a regular sea. But the ocean is really beautiful!

目的はサンドバーとウミガメがみたくて参加しました！
ウミガメは沢山みれて大満足！船のすごく近いところでみれて感動しました！
サンドバーはたまたま満潮で胸付近まで水があって普通の海でした涙
でも海はとっても綺麗です！

It's enjoyable for both children and adults. Anyway, it was not crowded. Maybe it was just a good day to visit, but we could try the popular slides multiple times without much waiting. It feels like a nice large pool in the countryside (though some facilities are a bit aging). It's about a 40-minute drive from Honolulu. The food mainly consists of hamburgers, but the taste is okay. The kids were very happy. If I had to say something, it's not as spacious as I expected. Initially, I thought that the playtime from 10:30 to 15:00 might be short, but I think it's just the right amount of time. Towards the end, the adults did get a bit bored at times. Overall, it's good.

子供から大人まで楽しめますね。
とにかく空いてる。行った日が良かったのか、人気のスライダーも大して並ばずに何度も挑戦。
いい感じの田舎の大型プールって感じでしょうか？（設備が若干、老朽化気味）
ホノルルからも４０分程度。食事もハンバーガー中心ですが味もOK。
子供達が大喜びでした。
しいて言うと、思った以上に広くない。当初は１０：３０～１５：００までだと遊ぶ時間が短いかな？と思っていたが、ちょうど良い時間だと思います。
大人は最後の方は若干飽きる場面もありましたね。
全体ではgoodです。

This was my second time participating in the OP with VERTRA. I had a good impression from the first time and it was a fun experience. This time, I participated with my family: my husband and daughter. My daughter has disabilities in her hands and feet, so she cannot swim. She has never been to a pool or the ocean with friends. However, we had been to Hawaii several times, and I always wanted her to experience snorkeling or participating in ocean activities someday. This time, I decided to take the plunge, and I was able to see my daughter’s happy face. Although it was just for a short time, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. This was all thanks to the staff of Heavenly Ocean Tours, especially Yuki, who encouraged us by saying, "I'll assist you, let's go together," which I truly appreciated. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful OP. I definitely want to participate again.

VERTRAさんのOPは、２回目の参加です。１回目も悪い印象はなく、楽しい思いでです。
今回は、家族３人での参加でした。夫婦、娘です。娘が手と足に、障害があり泳ぐことができません。友達とプール、海なども行ったこともないです。でも、ハワイには、何度か来ていたので、いつか、シュノーケリングや海でのOPに参加させて、あげたいと思っていました。今回、思い切って、参加して娘の喜ぶ顔も、見れたしシュノーケリングも少しの時間でしたが、楽しむことが、できました。それも、ひとえに、天国海ツアーのスタッフ・・特に、YUKIさんが、補助しますから、一緒に行きましょうと、声をかけて下さり、本当に、ありがたかったです・・感謝です。本当にありがとうございました・・・とっても、素敵なOPでした。
また、必ず、参加したいです。

I participated two years ago and it was so great that I joined again. Naturally, the staff, the boat, and the menu were all exactly the same. However, I felt that the snorkeling time was extremely short. It was like, "Wait, is it already over?!" Unfortunately, there were no fish at all. The coral reef might have fewer fish now. So, if snorkeling is your main focus, it might be a bit disappointing. The staff's service is excellent. The hamburger was just as delicious as last time.

２年前に参加。非常によかったのでまた参加してきました。
当然ですがスタッフの顔ぶれも船もメニューも全く同じ。
ですが、シュノーケリングの時間が極端に短かったように思います。
「え、もう終わり？！」という感じ。
また残念ながら魚が全くいなかった。
もうあのサンゴ礁には魚が少なくなっているのかもしれませんね。
なのでシュノーケリングをメインにするとちょっと残念な感じになるかもしれません。
スタッフの対応は最高です。
ハンバーガーも前回同様おいしかったです。

The experience was amazing! It was more than we had hoped for. The crew- Michelle, Connor and Felipe were awesome.

We rented a car during our trip and stayed at the Kahala Hotel, which was not included in the shuttle service, so we went on our own. The parking fee was $8, and we could pay by card. For entry, the VELTRA guide only mentioned meeting at the entrance, but it was smooth when we presented the voucher at the counter. There was a baggage check at the entrance, and it seems that food other than fruits is not allowed.

Inside, there were multiple slides, and it was compact and easy to navigate. However, since the operating hours were until 3:30 PM on that day, there were some attractions we couldn't do. I think it's a great place for families with small children. However, the food counter gets really crowded.

旅行期間中レンタカーを借りていたのと、カハラホテルに滞在していて送迎対象外だったので自分達で行きました。駐車場は$8。カードで払えました。入場は、VELTRAの案内では入口集合としか記載なく、窓口にバウチャーを提示したら、スムーズでした。入口では手荷物検査があり、フルーツ以外の食べ物は取上げの様です。
中はスライダーがいくつもあり、コンパクトでまわりやすかったです。ただ、営業時間が15:30迄の日だったので、できないアトラクションもありました。
小さな子供連れには良いところだと思います。
ただ、フードカウンターはめっちゃ混みます。
